SYNC process on MacOS = no upload/download speeds view, No actual activity monitor
Hi! I forgot how it was on Windows, but I think better than on MacOS.

Dropbox StaffHey cwithe, thanks for taking the time to post about this.
We really appreciate your feedback here, but let's see what we can find out about this.
When did you start having this issue? Was it after the app was updated to the latest version?
Have you tried restarting both the computer and the Dropbox app, to see if this behavior persists?
Keep me posted.
Dear Hannah,
thank you for reaching back to me.
The uploading speed at the top of the screen, while hovering over Dropbox icon on MacOS, is sometimes on sometimes off. Now it is on. But even if it is on, It's not much of a help. It is showing for the last 12 hrs that i have 34-37min till end of upload (I started to upload 400gb yesterday). Now I understand it is showing upload remaining time for some segments, chunks or whatever of upload. But that does not tell me anything when the upload is going to be finished. It's so frustrating. I admit, google drive in browser is worse that this, but as for the other cloud service, I haven't seen such a bad UI regarding upload/download as Dropbox has.
Again, It is very very foggy in Dropbox to analyse what Activity is going on from the UI you have now. I wouldn't care if it was free service or a service that has nothing to do with upload and download of files, large files, if it was not a cloud service for sharing, backup etc. files. But, It is!
I can'T tell my clients, or myself nothing to be sure of regarding file sharing etc... and that sucks big time.
